I already told the story, Ed, but I will repeat it for relevance to this thread. That bloke in San Francisco (not a collector) had two M15s for sale. This Mecklenburg-Schwerin and a rotten Bavarian. I was, of course, only coveting the former one. Problem: spikes had been switched between the two helmets ! I tried to explain and convince him to switch spikes back. No way. He was stubborn (or perhaps a clever seller...) and refused to believe me. I had two purchase both helmets to recover the precious MS spike, but it was worth it...That is a gem Bruno , I think we have them all now. (With combined forces.)

Yes indeed, Ed. Lovely series of yours. We could just add the Perlring variant for the M15 Dragoner helmet.
And now it is complete

You certainly made the right decision there Bruno , how many times have you had the opportunity to buy an other one ?
Never saw one.... And I think the only Mecklenburg M15 I have seen for sale in years had the wrong Prussian spike.
